If you didn't have a user ID on kywilderness.com (when it was the climbers bbs), then you are a gumby. Period. You do, however, get partial credit if you had a climbky.com account.
I be so happy!

So... I'm a gumby simply because I haven't always climbed at the Red??? How does that work?Wes wrote:If you didn't have a user ID on kywilderness.com (when it was the climbers bbs), then you are a gumby. Period. You do, however, get partial credit if you had a climbky.com account.

No. Pay attention...You are a gumby 'cause you didn't post on the old forums.

what's wrong with a helmet? and socks in the gym are AWESOME under gym shoes for those routes that are unnecessary to wear your own tight shoes! if i could climb all the jug hauls at the red i'd be wearing socks all the time! 
i guess that's why i'm still a gumby, that and i can't climb MOST of the climbs at the red jug haul or not! i'm a gumby 4 life baby!!!

- Using cheap braided nylon cord (think clothes line) as your climbing rope.
- Using a single 'biner (not a quickdraw setup) to clip the bolts.
- Belaying your climber by standing/sitting/laying twenty feet from the cliff.
- Talking a bit too loudly so as everyone in the area can hear about your latest send/latest injury/latest lame reason you can't send.
- Shitting either on, or just off the trail... along with not bothering to bury it.
- Showing up with a large group and hogging routes all day.
- Not staying on the designated trail.
- Tick marking EVERY hold on a route.
- Not brushing a popular route you've been working.

-you walk around miguels with your pack on your back and your harness, complete with a new set of quickdraws, still on your self
-you climb at mv
-you can unclip draws better than you can clip them
-you never wipe the dirt off your shoes
-you climb with Andrew
-you let your dog shit/piss/and or walk on everything in sight
-you are Andrew
-you anchor to a tree when belaying
-instead of packing everything in a pack, you approach with a Jansport backpack and handfulls of gear

"Shitting either on, or just off the trail... along with not bothering to bury it."
That is actually the original definition. Years ago you could by a shirt at the New that had a picture of gumby shitting on the trail - it said "don't be a gumby". Now I wish I would have bought it.

Sorry I never bothered to post onto any of the old Kentucky forums before I lived in Kentucky.
I'll be sure to start posting to every climbing forum dedicated to an area where I might start climbing and or live near in the in future, so as to avoid having this happen again.
Thanks!
